New Member Experience
ZTA’s Zeta Is Forever New Member Experience was designed to emphasize the values of the Fraternity. Each section of the program focuses on values found in The Creed of Zeta Tau Alpha that all Zetas should “seek” in their daily lives, including greatness, understanding, purpose, sisterhood and nobility. Zetas across the country take part in this program as new members and learn values they carry with them throughout their lives.
All first-year Zetas go through the New Member Experience, GreekLifeEdu, Initiation and two post-Initiation lessons during the same semester as Primary Recruitment.
Prior to the in-person meeting each week, new members will complete an online educational workshop regarding that week’s topic. Each workshop consists of information and activities that will assist new members in their learning of the material. The purpose of this online workshop is to allow for fewer lectures and more discussion and engagement with other new members during in-person meetings, building overall sisterhood and a connection to the Fraternity. The in-person meetings include icebreakers, a review of the online module, interactive activities and a personal reflection.
Meet your 2025 VP Learning & Development
Dear Potential New Member,
My name is Kenzie Hanosh and I have the incredible privilege to serve as Zeta Tau Alpha’s Vice President of Learning and Development. Congratulations on beginning your sorority recruitment journey! Two years ago, I stood exactly where you are now, and I couldn't imagine my college experience without Zeta.
When I walked into Zeta as a freshman, I felt cared for, appreciated, seen, and experienced a sense of belonging. The conversations were authentic and left me feeling refreshed and empowered each day. That feeling is why I chose Zeta as my home.
These women have encouraged, challenged, and comforted me through everything. The unconditional love we have for each other is undeniable and we are so blessed to share all these memories together. I've never encountered such genuine support and sisterhood elsewhere.
Serving in this position I am honored to mentor you through your Zeta journey and hope to become not just your guide, but your confidant and unwavering support system. Trust the process and embrace your authentic self! I'm beyond excited to introduce you to this sisterhood that has transformed my college experience in countless meaningful ways. We're thrilled to meet you and hope to welcome you home on BID DAY!
